Lebanon: A citizen was injured by the Israeli occupation fire in the town of Kafr Kafal, south of the country – the seventh day

The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that a citizen was wounded by the Israeli occupation fire in the town of Kafrkla, in the south of the country.

In another context, a Lebanese official source announced that the smuggling of 4 million dollars from Syria to Lebanon be thwarted, amid secret investigations surrounding the process.

The source revealed “thwarting the smuggling of $ 4 million from Syria to Lebanon through an illegal crossing on the northern border, where the Lebanese army seized the money after chasing the smugglers who fled and left the car that was transporting the amount.”

The source emphasized that “one of the Lebanese businessmen, who is close to a prominent northern politician who was an ally of the Bashar al -Assad regime, intervened, claiming that the seized funds belong to him, claiming that it is part of his wealth derived from his investments in Syria.”

A former Lebanese minister also tried to intervene to release the amount, but the discriminatory public prosecutor decided to seize funds and transfer them to the Ministry of Defense to conduct the necessary investigations.

This operation comes days after the seizure of $ 2.5 million at Beirut International Airport, where it is suspected that “the money was sent from Iran to Lebanon via Hezbollah.”

The official source also revealed “a similar smuggling process that obtained the eastern border in the Bekaa, as the Lebanese army stopped smuggling hundreds of thousands of dollars, so that another businessman linked to a Lebanese politician and claiming ownership of the amount, which led to his release by a judicial decision without verifying the prosecution.”

Investigations have not yet been resolved whether the seized funds were sent to Hezbollah through illegal roads after imposing restrictions on Iranian aircraft heading to Beirut, or that they belong to political figures linked to the previous Syrian regime.

A Lebanese judicial source confirmed that any person who claims to ownership of smuggled funds must prove its legitimacy, wondering why it was not included through the legal crossings if it is legal, stressing that what is happening is a money laundering operations punishable by law.
